For the theory, look at the following papers:

There is a web site for the calculation of buffer systems satisfying
certain criteria at
http://www.buffers.nichd.nih.gov/, but it currently seems non-operational.
You can of cdourse use different detergents, in particular those with
positive charge. As I explained in the following paper they have
advantages with certain types of proteins:

In theory one could also link affinity tags to the matrix to get an
affinity electrophoresis in analogy of affinity chromatography, but I am
not aware of anybody ever having done that. Other than that the matrix
only has to provide the right pore size, its chemical composition is not
relevant. So starch or agar gels are used for some problems, but only
because they offer larger pores than acrylamide.
